Hello, it looks like you are running on Ubuntu 16.04 32 bit? I was not able to reproduce that error on the same version of Etcher and Ubuntu. Are you using any kind of sandbox software? Can you try the command sudo ./balenaEtcher-1.7.9-ia32.AppImage --no-sandbox ?

Hi, I have the same problem on Ubuntu 18.04.6.
I have ubuntu installed on portable/external SSD drive.
When I have this external SSD connected to e.g. Lenovo T470 (with Intel i7 64bit processor) and Ubuntu which is installed there is running - problem do not exist.
While I have the same SSD drive connected to Dell D610 (Intel centrino) and Ubuntu which is installed on external SSD is running - problem appears.
I can see following message after issuing application:
